I couldn't be happier with the suite of services provided by David Kempton. He is incredibly knowledgeable, has a lifetime of experience, and offers the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. My clients always enjoy the experience, and somehow, him being so good always makes me look like a rockstar. If he were driving Uber, it would be 5 stars all day! - J.W., November 2017

Highly recommend. David was professional and personal at the same time. He outlined key components of the house and made sure I, as the new buyer, was comfortable with the operation and status of each element. - J.S., Washington DC, July 2017

Davis was wonderful. He was thorough and took his time explaining to me all aspects of the home that required explanation. He did a nice job summarizing at the end. I would not hesitate to use David again or refer him to a friend. - T.B., Washington DC, October 2016

Very impressed with David. Highly recommend based on his expertise and positive attitude. - M.B., Washington DC, February 2016

David, did an absolute fantastic job. He arrived on schedule, explained what the inspection would entail and how he would go about conducting the inspection. As we made our way through the inspection, David pointed out any concerns/issues, and provided details on possible solutions and repair cost.
David was also quite informative during the inspection. He explained in detail how to cut off the water if necessary, which was good to know because our house includes fire sprinklers and a lawn irrigation system. Knowing which water lever shuts off the main water supply versus the other two systems is very important. He also provided information regarding the electrical capacity of our home so that we would know that there is plenty of electrical supply currently in the home to handle practically any addition we decide to do.
David was very easy to work with. He may seem laid back and has jokes, but he's very detailed and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend David. - K.P., Alexandria VA, June 2015
